My skills
I am an enthusiastic graduate recently evacuated from Lesotho, Southern Africa as a Peace Corps Volunteer because of COVID-19, who is motivated by helping the world in whatever way I can. Be it through journalism, service work or serving coffee to stressed students of my college, I constantly seek opportunities that satisfy this passion.
